Comment by Sylvia Bernstein on September 11, 2011 at 7:06am: Sorry TC...just seeing your question now. Melissa Rasmussen, who will talk about her work in Ghana, and the other is Franz Schreier who will reveal his new carbon-negative solar greenhouse design. Pretty cool stuff!

With still 4 weeks to go, almost 140 people will be joining us next month to celebrate and learn about aquaponics. It is even shaping up to be quite the international event with attendees from Germany, Australia, Iran, Trinidad, the Bahamas, Canada, and Japan! Join us for what's shaping up to be the largest gathering of aquaponic enthusiasts in the Northern Hemisphere! Woohoo!

Sorry for the confusion!
